That's exactly why it's divisive. They don't want a functioning democracy.

Also asbestos on the site.

I guess that explains why the Ancient Greeks are all dead.

They also eat nectar and are pollinators of various plants.

There's no way we could simply remove a creature as numerous and widespread as mosquitoes without any consequences.

They also have all kinds of weasel options in their coverage. "Sorry, you were covered for wind, not flood" They'll avoid paying any way they can.

That's not how it will play out. By unconditionally defending Israel from counter-attack they're emboldening them to keep fighting and provoking whoever they want. The Israelis know they're immune to any repercussions from their aggression. They have nothing to fear, and will only further their attacks because of it. This will create more innocent deaths, not less.

He brags that he's not.

When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.

It's windowless. As someone who gets motion sickness if I can't see out, I would cover the inside of that thing with barf. And the seats are conveniently facing sideways, which is another strong trigger for me, the barf would be aimed directly at the stranger facing me.

How the fuck is this allowed.

"We shared all your data, but you can tell us not to if you want. I mean, we already did it, but, you know how it is... 🤷‍♂️ "

And they have the nerve to call the heading "Trust and safety". TRUST?! There's no trust for anyone who would sell my data to the highest bidder. Or even anyone who will offer pennies.

Insurance companies have a conflict of interest inherent in their business model. They make money by taking your money up front and then paying you back as little as possible at a later date. Any way to weasel out of paying up, especially in a big event like a hurricane, is a huge money saver for them. And most people are desperate. Their house is gone. They aren't in a position where they can argue and sit on the phone for hours and work it out.

What last name do you think is neat? It could sound cool, have an interesting meaning or history, etc.
